Lu Yuan spent a few days in Beijing, but he was mostly busy with work-related matters.

Sometimes, while we're playing, Hu Xingyu will call to ask about some operational issues.

Everyone else is on holiday now, but Hu Xingyu has to stay backstage. He's working very hard, that's common knowledge.

However, his constant bothering of Lu Yuan also annoyed the latter.

The main problem is that his questions are all very simple and he could make his own decisions, but he can't make up his mind.

Once, when Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian were having an in-depth conversation in the room, Hu Xingyu called several times in a row. After a while, Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian lost interest.

So, Lu Yuan was thinking about whether to change Hu Xingyu's position and replace him with someone more decisive.

Liu Yujie, Hu Xingyu's roommate, seems capable of taking on this important task, but how can he be persuaded to accept Hu Xingyu's authority in a way that wins everyone's approval?

In other words, is Hu Xingyu willing to relinquish his power?

Of course, as the person in charge, Lu Yuan could decide who does what with a single word, but the most important thing in managing people is not to discourage his subordinates.

Therefore, the matter of whether to transfer Hu Xingyu should be put on hold until after the Spring Festival for further consideration.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yuan and the others returned to Jiangcheng.

Now that it's holiday time and the Spring Festival is approaching, this small town is bustling again.

The liveliest place must be the internet cafe.

In 2011, Wuhan still had many internet cafes, with more than a dozen legal ones, while there were probably no fewer than a hundred unregistered illegal internet cafes.

This number is not an exaggeration at all. At that time, the main function of mobile phones was to make calls, which was far from meeting the entertainment needs of the general public. Internet cafes were naturally the most popular places.

In the past, Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe often skipped classes to go online. During the years when they were most addicted to the internet, they played the then-popular game "A Chinese Odyssey" and would even skip meals to spend money on it. They also played games like "CrossFire" and "Dungeon Fighter Online".

Lu Yuan is almost no longer addicted to the internet, after all, his mental age is already forty years old, but Gao Zhe is only nineteen years old and is very addicted to the internet. As soon as he comes back, he goes to the internet cafe to hang out.

He has a computer at home and can play games there, but his parents would scold him if he played on the computer all day at home, which he found annoying, so he chose to go to an internet cafe.

I mainly enjoy the lively atmosphere of internet cafes, and the occasional shout from someone gives me a sense of excitement.

Sometimes he would stay out all night and then fall asleep as soon as he got back the next day, so much so that he didn't even reply to Wang Qingyu's messages.

To be honest, Gao Zhe is too playful these days and still treats relationships rather casually.

Sometimes Wang Qingyu couldn't help but think that even if she and Gao Zhe broke up, Gao Zhe probably wouldn't feel sad.

On the other hand, after returning home, the first thing Lu Yuan did was to visit his family's upgraded garment factory to see if this place, which had received a lot of investment, could catch up with the development opportunities in the garment industry in the next few years.

With the investment, the scale expanded, and the advanced machinery provided by the Thomas Group, production efficiency increased significantly.

A month ago, a batch of garments from Lu's Garment Factory had already been sent to Europe, and Mr. Thomas was very satisfied with the production efficiency and the quality of the finished garments.

With the design provided by Lu Yuan, Mr. Thomas must have made a fortune and was overjoyed.

He seemed to know that Lu Yuan was on vacation, so he contacted Lu Yuan specifically to try to get more designs from him.

It's easy to imagine that the designs Lu Yuan provided for him during the summer vacation received excellent market feedback.

All of this was within Lu Yuan's expectations. After all, it was something Lu Yuan had personally experienced in his previous life. He vividly remembered what styles were popular in which years.

However, even though Mr. Thomas really wanted a new design, Lu Yuan didn't have time to spend another half a month producing one for him.

Lu Yuan doesn't need to seize any new opportunities right now. He already has two projects on hand: Yuanxian Wardrobe and Love Notes. Moreover, both projects need to be further expanded. After the Spring Festival, Lu Yuan will need to put in a lot of effort.

Besides, good designs can't all be given to foreigners. Keeping them for ourselves can also make money, and we can even make more.

With only about ten days left until the Spring Festival, many people who went out to work have returned, making the small town very lively, and you can already feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

It doesn't snow in Jiangcheng in winter, and it's not particularly cold. Sometimes you don't even need to wear a coat; you can just wear a long-sleeved shirt and stroll around outside without feeling cold.

During dinner, Mom suddenly asked Lu Yuan, "Yuan, what are we going to do with Yi Xian for the New Year?"

"Well..." Lu Yuan thought for a moment, "She usually spends the year with her brother, and he should be back in the next couple of days."

"Aren't there any adults here?"

Mom asked again, thinking that Ye Yixian's parents were no longer around, and whether any relatives would come to visit them during holidays. If it was just the two siblings, it would be too lonely and pitiful.

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "They don't have any relatives. Even if they did, after what happened, they probably wouldn't have any contact with them anymore."

If Ye Yixian really had any close relatives, he wouldn't have suffered so much all these years.

Mom nodded, indicating that she understood. "Then, you can talk to Yixian in the next few days and ask him and his sister to come to our house for New Year's Eve dinner, and then come over to pay their respects on New Year's Day. Your dad and I will prepare lucky money for them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan thought it was feasible.

Mom was very thoughtful. She only invited Ye Yixian and his family to have New Year's Eve dinner and pay New Year's visits on the first day of the Lunar New Year. She didn't expect them to spend the entire Spring Festival together, showing the siblings enough respect.

No matter what, the Lu family is still the Lu family, and the Ye family is still the Ye family. Even if Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian are dating, they are still two different families.

We can't force Ye Yixian, this young girl, to come to our house for the New Year before she's even married into the family.

Even if Ye Yixian is willing to come, what about Ye Yizhu?

He will definitely stay and protect the old house of the Ye family.

So, after finishing his meal, Lu Yuan sent a message to Ye Yixian.

Ye Yixian replied that there was no problem and that she would talk to Ye Yizhu about it later.

After spending so much time together, Ye Yixian wasn't awkward around Lu's parents. She didn't realize that their kindness was appreciated, and that refusing them would make her seem ungrateful.

I wanted to talk to Ye Yixian more, but then Gao Zhe called.

Lu Yuan wondered why Gao Zhe was calling all of a sudden.

If it's just a trivial matter, he definitely won't call; he'll just send a message instead, unless it's an emergency.

Lu Yuan answered the phone, and Gao Zhe's anxious voice came through: "Brother Yuan, someone's causing trouble, come to the internet cafe right away."
